Ok, so, first chapter has started out better than I thought.
Recap, Malik found his darker half inhabiting his mirror, Malik is confused, Marik is annoyed and he has to face off countless blood sucking monsters. Will Malik help?
'I must say I'm surprised at you. Surprised and disgusted'
'Who was that?' Malik asked
'Oh Ra...No...' Marik said slapping his forehead in annoyance.
--
Malik looked at Marik in a puzzled way. What or who could possibly get underneath Marik of all people's skin? He looked behind Marik and saw the figure coming closer and to his surprise, it was…Bakura...wearing teddy bear printed pyjamas?!
Malik and Marik just...stared, Marik snorted and tried as hard as he could to not burst into laughter. Malik was stunned at this sight, it made Bakura seem harmless... (Personally I think he looks a lot more psychotic).
Bakura stood there; arms crossed and smirked at the Ishtar boys.
'Hello there Malik, and Marik' said Bakura with that smooth British accent of his.
Marik couldn't contain himself any longer; he burst into laughter and fell over, literally rolling on the floor laughing.
Bakura cocked an eyebrow.
'...and what exactly is so funny you little parasite?'
Marik couldn't hear him...or even breathe for that matter. The confused and highly irritated albino turned to Malik, Malik silently pointed at Bakura's clothes, shocked at the sight of the teddy bear prints on his pj's. Bakura looked down at himself, disgusted and embarrassed he growled under his breath but tried to maintain his cool.
'Damn that stupid sod and his fucking sissy boy shits he calls clothes' Bakura cursed under his breath. Marik rose up and wiped his teary eyes, chuckling slightly.
'So, Bakura, tell me, what's with the ridiculous outfit?' Marik teased, fiddling with his collar. Bakura slapped his hand away menacingly.
'If you must know, whatever my host wears I wear too, look' Bakura turned and opened a portal like window that showed happenings in the real world. Malik looked rather impressed, Marik looked into the window with a blank stare which then turned into a wide eyed, freaked out expression as Ryou was seen inside, in the same pj's as Bakura, snuggling in bed with a stuffed toy.
Malik laughed a little. 'I see'
Bakura growled as he pulled on his shirt 'It's mortifying that's what it is, honestly that boy looks like his grandmother dressed him'
'Wait a minute, why is Bakura in my mirror too?' Malik asked.
'It's the only way that I could create access to your world, I could just speak to you through your mind, but this is so much more fun' Marik grinned wickedly.
'Why are you even talking to that tank top wearing sissy anyway?' Bakura scorned.
'Hey!' Malik screeched.
'Malik is going to help me get my own body and escape to the real world'
'But I didn't agree to that' interrupted Malik
'You don't have a choice in the matter, you can't get rid of me remember?'
Malik gave out a defeated sigh.
'Interesting!' Bakura pushed Marik out of the way, leaving Marik falling and landing on his butt. 'Tell me more about this; this could sort out my own little dilemma'
The psychotic duo tried to compromise with the unwilling Malik, which took a very long and exhausting time.
The next day, Malik was sitting on his bed, looking down to the floor. Confused and worried, Malik was in need of guidance. Should he believe the man who tried to kill him and everyone that he cared for?
A knock was heard from the other side of the door.
'Malik?'
'Yes?'
Odion and Ishizu walked into the room, both looking concerned.
'Are you alright? I heard a lot of noise coming from your room last night' asked Ishizu.
'You guys heard me?' staggered a little
'Yes. You kept saying 'his' name. Ishizu walked over to Malik and sat next to him, putting her hands on his shoulders. 'It's over now Malik, you're free.'
'No...He's still there'
Ishizu looked at Odion in fear. Odion asked
'Master Malik, we saw him go, we saw him get sent to the shadow realm.'
'Look...here's what happened'
After explaining the situation that went on last night, both Ishizu and Odion were too shocked for words.
'I don't believe it, he seriously said that?' asked Ishizu dumbfounded.
'And you believe him?
'I don't know what to believe anymore. But he's right about one thing. He won't disappear.'
'We should go see Yugi and the Pharaoh, they'll know what to do' said Ishizu reassuringly.
Malik sat down on a couch in the living room and picked the phone that was on a side table next to him. He dialled Yugi's home number and waited for an answer. The phone was finally picked up.
'Hello?' asked Yugi.
'Hi Yugi its Malik'
'Malik? Hi! How you doing?'
'Ok I guess, Yugi, I have something very important to tell you, is it ok if I come over? You should bring your friends too. They also need to know.'
'Oh? Sure, come on over'
After gathering Joey, Tristan, Teá and Serenity, Malik explained everything and they didn't take it very well.
'SAY WHAT!!' Yugi and his friends screamed at the Egyptian siblings in complete disbelief.
'No way! Never gonna happen'! Said Joey as he crossed his arms and turning his back at them. 'Why should Yuug do that bastard any favours?! After all that he did to Mai!
'I know, and I don't expect you guys to forgive everything that he did. But I know that there is some good in him' said Malik, Hoping for them to understand.
(Awkward silence)
'….umm…you are talking about the same guy right?' said Tristan, sweat dropping and giving him that 'are you serious' kinda glare.
'Malik, didn't you get rid of that monster for good? I mean, I swear he was taken to the shadow realm after you surrendered.' Yugi asked in a concerned tone.
Malik narrowed his eyes, looking slightly woeful. 'I thought that would happen, but…I can feel him. He's still there somewhere, he's a part of me and I am a part of him. Just like you and the Pharaoh.'
With saying that, Yugi understood completely where the sandy blonde Egyptian was coming from. Yugi turned to Yami for some guidance. Yami folded his arms and sighed deeply. 'Yugi, please don't look at me like that'
'Yami, Malik's right. Marik will never disappear, why can't we give him a chance?'
'That's probably the most stupid thing I have ever heard you say.'
'It might not be so bad, who knows? He might turn over a new leaf'
'YUGI LISTEN TO YOUR SELF!' Yami grabbed the small boy by his collar, pulling him up until his feet left the floor, shaking him back and forth in a crazed frenzy. 'DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT WAS FOR ME TO SEND THE BASTARD TO THE SHADOW REALM IN THE WHOLE DAMMED FIRST PLACE!?' Yami looked as though he was about to start foaming at the mouth.
Yugi wiped the spit from his eyes looking a little shocked, he sweat dropped but smiling at Yami to ease him a little. 'Trust me Yami, it will be ok'
Yami calmed down and sighed deeply. He lowered Yugi down to the floor.
'I hope you know what you're doing Yugi.'
Yugi turned to Malik, 'I'll do it'
Téa, Tristan, Joey and Serenity's jaws dropped!
'WHAT THE FUCK!!' Joey ran up to Yugi, grabbed his shoulders firmly to face him. 'Yuug, you can't be serious! You're really gonna let that nut case come back!? After all we've been through!?'
Yugi looked into his friends eyes, confident in his decision. 'Trust me; I know what I'm doing. Don't worry; he won't be a threat to anyone. I have an idea'
'Eh?'… Said the confused and frustrated young pup.
You guys probably know what's gonna happen now LULZ but its how it's gonna happen MUAHAHAHA!! chokes
